As long as each area has a different color tint, I think we'll be alright. :P

Its a PS3 thing, Resistance was Brown, Killzone is Grey and MGS4 is to be Green.

No, explain Uncharted then. MGS is known for throwing tints in the game. Mgs2 had a blue tint and 3 had a green tint. Each of the 5 locations in Mgs4 has a different tint.

Its a piss poor rip off of Gears of War and Tomb Riader which uses every colour not used in Resistance and Killzone hence having more colours on screen than even Halo can manage... there, explained.

No, it just uses a lot of colors. Please hide your fanboyism next time.

Pot... Kettle

Funny how the Sony fanboys always have a go at Halo for being too colourful but ignore Uncharted and Ratchet for going that extra mile in the same direction.

Upcoming games like MGS4, Killzone 2, and Resistance 2 just looks COD4ish. So that can either be a good thing or a bad thing.

This is why system wars is pathetic, we were talking about colour and then you go on a fanboy rant, wow. Gears is a good game. You're a fool if you think Uncharted is a complete rip off of other games and Gears is not. RE4, camera angle, Berserker/ Garrador (blind thing with claws in RE4) ring a bell?

I wasn't the one that brought Uncharted into the discussion, I just pointed out there are a lot of games that stick to one colour (and shades of) throughout, and then enlightened a few fanboys who can justify anything they want to by ignoring things that don't go tally with their opinion.

Go figure.

I love the look of the game, personally. Rather than a greenish tint, it has more of a shadowy, overcast desert look to me....which perfectly suits the game. I have also seen certain desert yellow hues in various screens as well. It looks great. I think it is more of it just being lighting choices for certain areas of the game....of which we have only seen a few.

i was fine with the grey of MGS1 and 2, and the green of MGS3

so it should be the same with this

it shouldn't detract from the rest of the experience

the color in the screens, compared to scenes from gameplay and trailers, is not consistant. this is probably a post-processing filter that can be changed/removed by the devs, and they have been trying out different things as time went by. some pictures of the same scenes lack a greenish filter, like the promotional banners.Mordred19

Right on the money. The color tint in even the same screenshots between different websites vary sometimes.

There will be many scenarios, I doubt everyone will be greenish. For instance, there's a scene in a frozen island (Shadow Moses?) in a trailer that has the MGS1/2 look.

if MGS4 had changable filter options available to the player, like Mass Effect's film-grain and motion-blur options, it would be really cool. do you want a greenish filter, a bluish filter, high-contrast, ect.

When I played thed emo at E for All that game had no tint or at least to the levels you see in those pics. I'm curious how come it shows up now, granted my demo was way incomplete and early stage, but somehow I don't know... maybe it's just the time of frame showing up or taking it? Because really, I didn't see any and the 2nd and 3rd pics in those post look exactly like the level and area I was fighting in.

It's got that Game Boy-ish green tint... I prefer a variety of colors in my games, not just the typical shooter brown or FPS grey. Green isn't that much better.

It's the type of thing that I wouldn't care about until someone pointed it out to me (Case in point).

That being said, no, it doesn't bother me.

I actually think it's awesome when developers decide to use colour filters, like some movie directors do.

Just off the top off my head I can name a few games which use a colour filter; Assassin's Creed does, notice the difference in tint between Acre and Damascus/Jerusalem, look at some of the trailers for FarCry 2, it also uses one. It's not a common thing, neither is it a rarety, and I think when done effectively it helps to convey the mood & tone, or helps to stress the setting, and whole host of other things.

It doesn't bother me at all when used properly, but at times it can be irritating if it just doesn't match.

Yes, it bothers me greatly. I mean all MGS games seem to have a tinge to them where a lot of the colours blend in or are just different shades of each other, but it's a trend I don't actually like. I guess you could call it art style, but I'd be much more fond of a vibrant and life-like colour palette than the drab colours that wash over the entire game.

I don't think the entire game looks like that, just a particular part. If I'm not mistaken.

It doesn't bother me in the slightest, and even if it did, this is my Game of the Year regardless.

At least it isn't all brown, like Gears of War and other games. And thank God they don't use too much bloom.Killer_Wuggles

It's like the CSI's. They also have their own colors. MIami for example is orange.
